Liverpool will fulfill the dream of the renowned coach Sven-Göran Eriksson.
The Swedish maestro will partake in a charity match between Liverpool and Ajax legends. The event is scheduled to take place at Anfield on March 23rd.
The former head coach of the England national team will join the coaching staff of the Reds for this match. Alongside Eriksson, the team will be led by Ian Rush, John Barnes, and John Aldridge.
The first group of players who will participate in the match has already been announced. Confirmed participants include Jerzy Dudek, Sander Westerveld, Martin Škrtel, Fabio Aurelio, Gregory Vignal, Djibril Cissé, and Ryan Babel, who will play for both teams.
One hundred percent of the proceeds from the match will be directed to the charitable organization LFC Foundation and its partners.
It is worth reminding that in January, Eriksson disclosed that he is suffering from an incurable form of cancer. The Swedish expert anticipates having less than a year to live.
